If there was a Mount Rushmore of American musicians I would be hard-pressed to not have his face on it 

I would agree. Maybe add Pete Seeger and Paul Robeson. But obviously we get into contentious territory by merely mentioning this.

Woody Guthrie for me over Pete Seeger. Can only have four, alas

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking on this over the years 🤣

Getting into contentious territory is my middle name 😉

One Mount Rushmore wouldn't be enough. A few suggestions: 

1. Stephen Foster, Scott Joplin, Aaron Copeland & George Gershwin 

2. Leadbelly, Jimmie Rogers, Woody Guthrie & Bob Dylan 

3. Robert Johnson, Bessie Smith, Muddy Waters & B. B. King 

4. Art Tatum, Charlie Parker, Charles Mingus & Miles Davis 

5. Sam Cooke, Smokey Robinson, Jimi Hendrix & Prince 

6. Hank Williams, Bill Monroe, George Jones & Johnny Cash

Nothing to argue with there other than that gaping Louis Armstrong-shaped hole 😉

Yeah, I knew I'd overlooked somebody. Sub out Art Tatum for Satchmo.

This is tough for me to say, but push comes to shove I go Coltrane over Mingus. That said, picking between the two just seems wrong 

I did stress over that one. Coltrane nearly got the nod as a player, but I opted for Mingus as a composer.
